The bike runs very strong and powerful as it sounds in this video. The bike was built in 1979, considering its age my Kawasaki is in excellent condition. I enjoy each rides.

That's right Here we talked about sound

This video gives you a sample but in real life this Kawasaki engine sounds better than anything I have ever heard. Decades ago, I saw a rider turn around this type of motorcycle at a very slow speed almost at idle. It sounded like a half of a Ferrari engine. The burble sound it made was just simply stunning. If you ever see a rider on one of these try to listen to the exhaust note. It is truly music.

6 INTO ONE EXHAUST ...SOUNDS REAL GOOD AND SOUNDS VERY SMOOTH.

Had one exactly the same, I think mine was an 1986 model. Fuel injected and had a handmade set of stainless steel 6 into 1 pipes similar to the bike in the video. It sounded like an F1 engine when it was in the high rev range. Sold to a mate about ten years ago who sold it on to another mate who still has it in his collection.

Had one for 30 year’s, best bike ever. Thinking about getting one again!

Sculptured orchestral history

One beautiful vintage muscle bike, that is gorgeous, classy looking, fast as hell, and what a motorcycle should like like. I've been a lifelong fan and rider of 2 stroke MX Dirtbikes, Japanese Sportbikes, and 2 stroke streetbikes. Just bought a 1985 Yamaha 2 stroke RZ 350 Kenny Roberts Edition Bike, in Vintage Yamaha Yellow and Black, with the engine taken off of the frame, restored from the ground up. Beautiful vintage 2 stroke streetbike, with a sick powerband. Got it a couple of months ago, from Kaplan Cycles and the New England Motorcycle Museum, in Rockville, Connecticut. They're awesome and Highly talented people. They take old school pride, in everything that they do, no.matter how cheap or expensive. They have two channels on You Tube....Kaplan America and Kaplan Cycles. Best motorcycle channels on You Tube, IMHO. I like your channel alot too, and just subscribed to it. Later today, or on Tuesday, my Gas Gas 2 stroke MX Dirtbike, a MC 250, made by the KTM Company will be delivered to my house. Bought it from the same people at Kaplan Cycles in Connecticut. I'm as excited as a young boy on Christmas Day. Much Love and Respect, Brother, From New Orleans, La.

To me all Japanese bikes that are vintage, I mean built prior to 1988 are simpler and lot better in quality, not taking any even small parts are made in the same country with lot of care. As Japanese currency exchange rate set higher in late 80s in which in turn point: The components that go to bikes started leave country, off shore manufactured parts started built in the bikes for cost advantages. We did not have Alibaba back then but skills are transferred then later hit us with copycat version of Yamaha, Honda, Kawasaki today. There was no copycats in 70s 80s and the bakes from that time still out stand with value. We appreciate those people like Kaplan properly treat values of bikes to museum level, decades pass by but still quality is good and bike is solid! Ya! I would like to visit one of Kaplan facility one day. 🎉 Cheers!

Bloody lovely!

I remember the ads for these in motorcycle magazines, but I don’t think I ever saw one in person🤷🏼‍♂️

El mejor sonido junto con la Honda cb de 6 cilindros. Verdaderas bestias 👏👏👏

Sounds excellent!
